D664 EXAM 100% ACCURATE LATEST
UPDATE
,Brainstem - ANSWERSbefore we are born
controls basic functions (breathing and heart rate)
Limbic System - ANSWERSShortly after birth, continues to develop through
adolescence
controls emotions and memory, helps us navigate social situations, regulate emotions
and remember things.
Cerebellum - ANSWERSbegins to develop early in life
controls balance and coordination
helps us performs tasks like typing, writing, and sports
Cerebrum - ANSWERSExtensive growth in childhood and adolescence
the largest part of brain
controls higher cognitive function like thinking reasoning and problem solving.
Prefrontal cortex (frontal lobe) - ANSWERSbegins to progress through grade school
controls impulse control, decision making, and emotion regulation
allows us to plan, organize, and prioritize
Neuroscience - ANSWERSStudy of the nervous system and brain
Curiosity - ANSWERSexamine new information and resources on developmental topics.
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) - ANSWERSanalyze evidence based research and
data for guidance in selection of practices and interventions.
Cognition - ANSWERSMental processes involved in aquiring, processing, storing, and
using info.
Neurodevelopment - ANSWERSHow the brain grows and changes
Mylenation - ANSWERSMakes brain pathways stronger
Pruning - ANSWERSGets rid of brain pathways
Brain Development Timeline - ANSWERSprenatal (in womb)
birth
newborn (rapid growth)
early childhood (pruning begins, mylenation continues)
adolescence (development continues especially in frontal lobe)
adulthood (development begins to slow)
, True or False
Cognition encompasses processes such as memory, perception, reasoning, problem-
solving, and decision-making. - ANSWERSTrue
True or False
The prefrontal cortex is responsible for balance, coordination, and motor control. -
ANSWERSFalse
It's primarily involved in higher cognitive functions such as decision-making, impulse
control, and emotional regulation
What is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) primarily used for? -
ANSWERSMapping brain activity
Encoding - ANSWERSrefers to the initial processing of information, where sensory input
is transformed into a form that the brain can store and use
Storage - ANSWERSinvolves retaining this encoded information over time
Retrieval - ANSWERSis the process of getting stored information when needed.
Feedback - ANSWERSplays a vital role in refining our learning strategies by providing
information about our performance, guiding future actions.
Metacognition - ANSWERSinvolves awareness and understanding of one's thinking
processes, enabling learners to monitor and regulate their learning effectively.
What are the 4 learning strategies? - ANSWERSretrieval practice
spacing
interleaving
feedback-driven metacognition
Retrieval Practice - ANSWERSactively recalling information from memory, such as
answering questions or completing quizzes, which strengthens long-term retention
(E.X. answering questions without notes)
Spacing - ANSWERSspacing out study sessions over time rather than cramming all at
once
(E.X. study 1 hour per day for 6 days instead of 6 hours in 1 day)
Interleaving - ANSWERSmixing up different types of problems or topics during study
sessions, which enhances learning by promoting deeper understanding and transfer of
knowledge
(E.X.Instead of practicing one type of math problem at a time, students might practice a
mix of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems.)
